Once I get my NPIP, I’ll ship you as many eggs as it takes to get a Splash Ameraucana pullet haha

Edited for spelling.

I volunteer?

That would be nice. I need to plant some plants. I was going to do seeds but I don't know if I want to this year.

My squash did horrible last year I'm not sure what I did wrong

Depending on where you were I think it was just the weather. I usually get tomatoes and squash by the bushel, and last year got next to nothing.

After D18 were you hand turning? One page I read said they hand turned because the upright turner wasn't turning them enough? I have the kind that turns them on their sides, though.

Did you leave them out after spraying or return them to the incubator immediately?

I had the upright turner, it worked fine but I watched it to make sure it didn't burn out. I turned by hand from day 18-21 then I stopped turning. I turned twice a day.

I left them out for about 7-10 minutes after spraying them on a towel then I put them back in the incubator.

I also rotated my eggs. So every other day I'd move them a row up in the turner so everyone got equal time in each area of the incubator.

Everything burnt up it was way too hot and no rain so I was constantly watering. Hope this year is better

I may have missed this. What color roosters do you have? I may have to order some eggs in the attempt to find a rooster for my girls.

He is Blue!
